The core only consider the first address for shared connections, don't
pretend we accept multiple addresses. This change doesn't prevent
supporting multiple addresses in the future.

We want to embed the current commit-id in the ./configure script.
That way the generated ./configure file in the source tarball
references the commit-id from which the tarball was created.
Then, in a second step, a script can check ./configure to find
the parent commit. This is for example done by the 'makerepo.sh'
script.
This is generally useful, and also done by network-manager-applet
and libnl3 projects. Move the function to a separate m4 macro
to reuse it. It should also be re-used in NetworkManager's VPN plugins.
Some drivers (brcmfmac) don't change the MAC address right away.
NetworkManager works around that by waiting synchronously until
the address changes (commit 1a85103765).
wpa_supplicant on the other hand, only re-reads the MAC address
when changing state from DISABLED to ENABLED, which happens when
the interface comes up.
That is a bug in wpa_supplicant and the driver, but we can work-around by
waiting until the MAC address actually changed before setting the interface
IFF_UP. Also note, that there is still a race in wpa_supplicant which might
miss a change to DISABLED state altogether.

This was added by commit 4de8851eca, probably
by copying from NMDeviceVlan. It's not clear why a netlink request to
set the device IFF_UP would fail, or why that warrants a retry.
This retry loop was added by commit dc6341acec.
But I suspect, that the main-point there was not to retry the netlink
request to set the interface up. Why would that fail, and why would
a failure to set the interface up require a retry?
I think it was added to wait for carrier. But waiting for carrier was
later dropped with commit 5074898591
and it is not clear why we would wait for carrier at all -- we don't
do that for other device types either.
Instead of letting the sub-class check the "enabled" state, let
it be handled by nm_device_bring_up().
Note that nm_device_get_enabled() only has two implementations:
NMDeviceModem:bring_up() and NMDeviceWifi:bring_up().
The virtual function NMDevice:set_enabled() has two implementations:
NMDeviceModem and NMDeviceWifi. Likewise, the get_enabled() function
should also be implemented by those types.
The only caller of nm_device_get_enabled() is NMPolicy:schedule_activate_check().
It is correct to skip Wi-Fi devices based on their enabled state.
An empty 802-11-wireless-security.proto is equivalent to
'wpa,rsn'. Previously we added the two protocols when reading the
connection and the variables were missing, with the result that an
empty value would be read as 'wpa,rsn' at the next restart. This is
harmless but makes the two connections appear as different, with bad
effects when 'monitor-connection-files' is enabled.
Ensure that the original value persists after a write/read cycle.

Long ago before commit 1b49f94, NetworkManager did not touch the
MAC address at all. Since 0.8.2 NetworkManager would modify the
MAC address, and eventually it would reset the permanent MAC address
of the device.
This prevents a user from externally setting the MAC address via tools
like macchanger and rely on NetworkManager not to reset it to the
permanent MAC address. This is considered a security regression in
bgo#708820.
This only changed with commit 9a354cd and 1.4.0. Since then it is possible
to configure "cloned-mac-address=preserve", which instead uses the "initial"
MAC address when the device activates.
That also changed that the "initial" MAC address is the address which was
externally configured on the device as last. In other words, the
"initial" MAC address is picked up from external changes, unless it
was NetworkManager itself who configured the address when activating a
connection.
However, in absence of an explicit configuration the default for
"cloned-mac-address" is still "permanent". Meaning, the user has to
explicitly configure that NetworkManager should not touch the MAC address.
It makes sense to change the upstream default to "preserve". Although this
is a change in behavior since 0.8.2, it seems a better default.
This change has the drastic effect that all the existing connections
out there with "cloned-mac-address=$(nil)" change behavior after upgrade.
I think most users won't notice, because their devices have the permanent
address set by default anyway. I would think that there are few users
who intentionally configured "cloned-mac-address=" to have NetworkManager
restore the permanent address.

Since commit ac888de151 ("cli/connections: fail the activation when
the active connection disappears") we rely only on the disappearing of
the active-connection to determine the failure of an activation.
libnm can collapse a 'added' and a 'removed' signal if they are
received closer enough and thus we may miss the removal of the active
connection. Restore the detection of failure based on
active-connection state.
Previously, when the load of an object failed and there were other
objects waiting for it, those objects would remain waiting
forever. Make them fail as well.
... and don't set ip6_state=IP_FAIL for ipv6.method=ignore.
The disabled state is like having an empty NMIP4Config object.
It should not result in %IP_FAIL state. Instead, we just want
to proceed and commit an empty NMIP4Config instance.
This was introduced by commit 0652d9c596,
which I think was wrong.
Likewise, for ipv6.method=ignore we also don't want to mark the
IP state as failed. Instead, we want to proceed and set IP_DONE
right away -- without commiting anything, which is a difference
to the IPv4 case.
This is especially important, because an ip4_state/ip6_state of IP_FAIL
causes nm_device_can_assume_active_connection() to return FALSE, which
means we unmanage devices at shutdown. Ony might say that it doesn't
matter so much for a device without IP configuration, but imagine a
bond with VLANs on top that only has Layer 2 configuration. This will
bring down the entire stack.
With this change, devices with IP methods disabled/ignore stay up on
exit of NetworkManager (rh#1371126). Of course, that means on restart
software devices stay unamanged due to external-down (because since
commit e1edcda, devices without IP address are also external-down).
So, this really just fixes one scenario, breaking another one.
This should be fixed with bgo#746440 by not assuming connections.

brcmfmac and possibly other drivers don't change the MAC address
right away, but instead the result is delayed. That is problematic
because we cannot continue activation before the MAC address is
settled.
Add a hack to workaround the issue by waiting until the MAC address
changed.
The previous attempt to workaround this was less intrusive: we would
just refresh the link once and check the result. But that turns out
not to be sufficent for all cases. Now, wait and poll.

- mode in init_resolv_conf_mode() must be initialized in
case it is NULL.
- drop the NULL sentinal from resolved_paths and make it
static.
- resolved_proxy_created() must handle the fact that @self
might be already destroyed.
- call_done() must not access @self before ensuring that
the call was not cancelled.
What's more, send_update() can be called by resolved_proxy_created(),
thus it must ensure that it has an @update_cancellable. Let
send_update() create and cancel the @update_cancellable().
Also, send_update() -- which now manages @update_cancellable
instead of update() -- must actually cancel the previous
cancellable, otherwise the callback again might access
a disposed @self.

A D-Bus signal is asynchronous and it can happen that nm-dhcp-helper
emits the "Event" signal before the server is able to register a handler:
NM_DHCP_HELPER=/usr/libexec/nm-dhcp-helper
nmcli general logging level TRACE
for i in `seq 1 500`; do $NM_DHCP_HELPER & done
journalctl -u NetworkManager --since '1 min ago' | grep "didn't have associated interface" | wc -l
499
Avoid that, by calling the synchronous D-Bus method "Notify".
Interestingly, this race seem to exist since 2007.
Actually, we called g_dbus_connection_signal_subscribe() from inside
GDBusServer:new-connection signal. So it is not clear how such a race
could exist. I was not able to reproduce it by putting a sleep
before g_dbus_connection_signal_subscribe(). On the other hand, there
is bug rh#1372854 and above reproducer which strongly indicates that
events can be lost under certain circumstances.
Now we instead g_dbus_connection_register_object() from the
new-connection signal. According to my tests there was no more race
as also backed by glib's documentation. Still, keep a simple retry-loop
in nm-dhcp-helper just to be sure.

tv.tv_usec is guaranteed to have less then 6 digits, however rounding it up
we might reach 1000000 and thus the value becomes mis-aligned. To round
correctly, we would have to carry over a potential overflow to the seconds.
But that seems too much effort for little gain. Just truncate the value.
